Just installed the MS02-018 hot fixes and ran the lockdown tool and It has
caused me two problems:

1) IIS 5 web server can't be contacted. I can't view it with MMC (just
hangs) and can't stop/start the
service, it just says 'Starting'. I was smart and Backed up my Metabase
before the patch and that fixed that problem.

2) But now my asp pages can no longer connect to the Oracle Database, they
load some VB components that fail to connect to my Oracle database. The MS
ODBC Driver for oracle complains that the oracle client is not installed.
However, it is, I can successfully connect with the ODBC test program. I
tried turning on object access and file auditing, but the logs showed no
failed access attempts. Uninstalling the patch did not help. I finally gave
up and re-stored the server from a clean backup.

This is the first time in a long time that I have had problems with any MS
service packs or patches, but this just killed one our production servers. I
want to install the patch since we try the keep up to date with all of the
security patches on our web servers, but I can't keep re-storing from my
backups. I have read that others are also having problems with this patch,
Is there going to be a new release? Has anyone else had this same problem
and is there a fix?

Thank You in Advance,
